You are probably right. It would suck if the stock went to $1,000 and the buyer of my call option exercised at that point. That would be a loss of $68,000.

On the other hand, if I am right that this is about the peak, then I get $20,000.

I could either close my position, or I could potentially buy the same call option strike with a shorter expiration for cheaper... Most likely the run up on GME will be over by then. If not, I could just buy another call option with a further strike on top of it.

Perhaps my strategy should be selling call options dated for 79 days from now with a strike of 320 for $190... Then buy call options for when I think this thing will end... Say 9 days out with the same strike for $152. If things go crazy high, then I can use my buy call option to cover the sell call option. If it doesn't, then my profit is $192-152 = $40.

My theory is the stock has run insanely high, and even Elon Musk has made comments that are priced in. At this point, WSB users may have all their money they want in this play invested... Who else comes in to sustain the current price or drive it higher? What if GME execs decide to sell some shares to raise funds? Or if the SEC asks them to to stop the short squeeze? The stock almost reached the WSB pie in the sky goal of $1000... How many people are going to make sure they aren't the last fool in the stock holding the bag?

But if I am really wrong, and the stock went to $5000 on a short squeeze, that would hurt. $5000-320= 4,680 x 100= $468,000.

I probably should buy a shorter run buy side call option to cover my risk. $20,000 with high probability outcome vs $468,000 with a low probability outcome...

Who exactly sells call options anyways? Someone has to be selling these naked in order to provide the volume that is out there, right? Probably people doing it behind an LLC shield so they can't take unlimited losses and will leave their broker ("too big to fail") holding the bag?
Religion never really disappears from us, even if we claim to be atheist. What changes is who the “high priests” are, what their revelations reveal, and of course what we worship.
I have never used Del.icio.us. I've tried to access it through web-archive but most of the snapshot are redirecting to 301 response error. How does the tagging work in del.icio.us ?
Yes I also think firms and famous traders manipulate the market. Yes hedge funds can also be manipulative.

There is a clear difference in TSLA. People were not coordinated. They have been investing because they believe the company will grow and the stock will appreciate long term.

GME is a bunch of people on reddit saying "guys if we all collectively buy, we can induce a short squeeze and artificially pump the stock price for a short period of time. Pour all your money in and diamond hand so we can get rich together." Then as it hits the mainstream, the smart people will cash out, and the dumb people will stay on the train and lose a ton of money.

You really don't see the difference?
Ok, when I went to Carlsbad, I first drove to Carlsbad NM via El Paso, spent the night, and from there drove to the caverns, returning to Carlsbad that night. As my hotel didn’t have a destination charger, the drive couldn’t be done in the Tesla, and I opted to drive an internal combustion vehicle. But let’s say I was determined to drive the Tesla, and not spend the night in Carlsbad. The trip from El Paso to Carlsbad caverns requires a trip to Van Horn first, for a total round trip of 454 miles, and over 8 hours. With an internal combustion vehicle, it’s a direct drive, 304 miles round trip, in just 5 hours. An additional 3 hours and 150 miles in the Tesla? No thanks.

The story for the north rim of the Grand Canyon is similar. In the Tesla, from Flagstaff, you must first drive to Page, AZ. Round trip 508 miles and 10 hours. In an internal combustion, its 422 miles and roughly 8.5 hours. When you arrive at the north rim in the Tesla, you can’t go anywhere else, and you must return the way you came.

Tesla should work on optimizing their National Park experience, as it’s the classic destination of an old fashioned American road trip.

One problem in understanding computer science history is the essentially perpetual copyright laws. It's illegal to view or share many important past programs' source code, a problem not shared by other fields. Imagine discussing literature without being allowed to read it! There are exceptions, but they are exceptions.

The rise of open source software is finally letting us view some of that software. But we may never publicly know what some past giants did.

I never said I was talking about averages ct machines any more than a brand new 787-9 is the average plane. You can get a 20 year 737 for a lot less than 200mil, and is probably closer to the average.

If your point is that MRIs less than 3T exist, I agree. If your point is that cheaper MRI exist, I agree. If your point is that nobody has spent 3 mil on a CT, then I disagree. A link showing the price of used machines 10-15 years old isn’t going to change that.

I always thought that Kony 2012 was just a dry-run for these sorts of things. I've never been able to figure out who did it though.
It's probably a little undervalued at $5 a share if you strongly believe that Ryan Cohen and his buddies from Chewy can turn the company around into a digital first company, then project big future revenue growth. Whether it actually works or just ends up like Yahoo is yet to be seen.
Comparing yourself to those better than you doesn't automatically lead to disappointment, it is about perspective. You could say "I'll never be as fast as Usain Bolt", or you could say "I'm just 15% slower than the worlds fastest man, great!".

I heard this comment at 12k and now I'm hearing it at 35k, I think it's worth being honest that nobody knows the future and if we did know where the top is, we'd short it (which you can with DeFi now from my understanding).
How do you get to that 90%+ number? I.e. how do you account for installations through Linux distro repos etc (which will likely cease to be an option for most) when describing this? Only counting your downloads is an extremely disingenuous measure of use of open-source software.

And for open-source users things definitively do not "remain as they are", given even your blog post admits it's not an open-source license.

But well, not particularly surprising you don't consider such users as "your users". Disappointing, but not surprising. Good reminder to check the CLAs required by any project I consider using.
It’s very easy to make this point without using slurs yourself.
I agree decentralized platforms need more push, but we also need better advertising than WSB type of case, so we get nice communities on them.
Because a lot of CS history are only relevant in a larger/humanities context. In terms of absolute technical value, the historical contributions are not necessarily as valuable. Russell and Whitehead's Principia Mathematica has next to no practical use in modern day software engineering. Their existence helped induce Church and Turing to create modern computer science theory but the discrete mathematics in that book itself holds little value for your average computer scientist outside of being an intellectual exercise.

Another issue is that CS is a branch of applied math that also happens to be extremely profitable. Math operates on much larger timescales than other domains. But business and economics demands immediate attribution. McCulloch and Pitts had their Hebbian neural network almost a century ago. Kleene of the Regex fame designed his neural network in 1951 [0]. These vast timescales are quite normal for advanced mathematics. But in 2010 GPUs became cheap and the obscure theories of the pre-GOFAI age are suddenly immensely profitable. Of course the names and associations would be with their most recent implementors. The ones who actually applied and made it possible, rather than those whom dreamt it up a century ago.

The problem for you is that you can make the exactly same argument without the words that people object to and it will upset no one and lie unmoderated.

You're being moderated for rudeness and not your opinion.
Get your point across without stomping a category of disabled person and making me think you're an immature shit-for-brains who I don't want to associate with. You act like your dictionary definition of the word 'retard' is some brilliant insight. It's garbage. Everyone, everywhere, would be better off without the 'content' that you're providing.

You have the right to say whatever you want and I have the right to throw you out of my house for it. Don't complain about the 'PC police' when the truth is that no one is interested in unoriginal arguments made poorly.

Grow up.
The parent comment is not talking about WSB going private (which you're right, it does happen from time to time by the mods for housekeeping). But they're actually talking about Discord shutting down WSB servers - for those unfamiliar, WSB subreddit also had an official discord server which was quite active.
I mean, you do have a point.

Obviously, your choice of words becomes limited if you refrain from using offensive language. And given our predisposition towards rage and anger to give attention this seems like an important “tool” to have at your disposal.

But as the incentives stand right now, accepting this kind of behavior is likely to trigger a race to the bottom as more and more speech get’s radicalized (in either direction) as people realize it is more powerful and can grab people more easily. We see this in the republican party. We need to find stop lines for this madness and find a somewhat stable equilibrium. Some places might be overreaching in moderation but this is to be expected as it’s difficult to find the right line as we don’t really have an understanding of the “proper” balance yet.

And my point is really that I am not sure what triggered this need for redress in the first place. Why is it so important to use spiteful language now? Couldn’t we have stayed more civil in the first place? Why should we support this shift?
Hate speech has been wilfully misconstrued to mean speech you hate.
I think the misconception is thinking that shares, once loaned, are somehow locked. In the above scenario, Alice and Chuck open their Robinhood account and see 100 shares just the same as Eli or any other long.

In reality their shares are actually on loan, but they're probably not even aware of it. If and when they go to sell their positions, it will instantly execute, and the broker will recall the shares before settlement (which occurs three days after the trade's executed.)

So, in fact Bob and Dave now have their pick of the litter and can buy back from either Alice, Chuck, or Eli.
Is the actual source code that important? I’m trying to think of what I’m missing. I’m personally more interested in the comments left in the code of some or those old projects than the actual code, which was probably full of bugs and a bit crufty just like the stuff we write today.
If we go by Alan Kay's definition, then we can argue Elixir/Erlang is an OO language [0]. It's not the first language one would think of when talking about OOP, is it?

They can backport the patch for the security fix themselves and rebuild the old version, or band together with other users to do the same.
The stock Signal spiked after Elon Musk said to use signal, has nothing to do with the app. A different Zoom spiked at the beginning of COVID. A lemonade company in 2017 put blockchain in its name and watched the stock price soar. Hertz went way up after declaring bankruptcy. I’m willing to bet this is clueless speculators.
As someone suggested in this thread - selling a call with expiry in summer - that seem like a reasonable thing.
Yeah it might be a matter of culture/maturity/experience. But so far the majority of servers I ended up on [1] were filled with people that had this mentality trait. It was unsettling.

> Since Melvin shorted the stock, there's potentially no limit to their losses,

This is the narrative going around, but is there any evidence that they had a completely un-hedged position? That they had absolutely no cover at all? I know you said "potentially no limit", but you say that, and continue on to posture that they're obviously down $21.5B. As far as I understand it, their TAUM is ~13B. So you're claiming that they lost the entire fund, and are just... pretending it didn't happen?

Lets pretend that GME goes to 1500/share, and Melvin Capital materially misrepresented (ie, criminally lied, which feels like a big accusation) about exiting their position, and they find themselves down $100B. Again, they only have ~13B TAUM.

Where do you expect the other $87B to come from? Or did you switch half-way through and are not just talking about Melvin Capital anymore?
Yes, but revenue peaked in 2017 and has been essentially declining since. They've been losing money since 2018, and their business is in terminal decline due to digital sales. They have about 300 million in net assets depending on what you count.

The value of a business with the same revenue as Gamestop, but with a normal profit margin and a stable or growing market is a very different beast. The only way Gamestop has any value is either to keep cutting the unprofitable stores until they just disappear as a company, like Sears did, or leverage the brand to pivot to digital. This is fairly difficult since the consoles are all locked to the console manufacturer's store, and Steam is already dominant on the PC.
Settings up new "servers" is trivially easy and can be done without payment. You can join any number of servers with same account and retain separation (i.e. other users can not see a list of servers you are on). You can change your nickname on server-by-server basis. "Everyone" is already on Discord and by everyone here I mean every gaming community and many tech communities.

For TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, and Mumble (which were the big 3 in my youth at least) you have to have different clients, you have to pay for servers, and the chat support is very rudimentary and bad. Channels aren't as easy to create and admin. Lastly they don't support inlined links/images or emojis. Which makes them just as user friendly as IRC.

Discord took what was good about Slack's UI and added on top good VoIP. It might not be perfect but it quite literally covers most what anyone could want and it scales really well. To beat it you must have 100% feature coverage + another killed feature. First part probably isn't that hard, but the second is. There needs to be a reason to install yet another communication program on your PC/tablet/phone because all of the communities wont just uproot and leave to a new platform over night.

Hey @gamesbrainiac, very interesting!

Yes that's do-able with what we have.

Would you be able to share more about the use case?
Most people on WSB understand the game here is a short squeeze. They all expect the stock to return to $5-50 when the squeeze is done. That means that the ones who currently own GME or it's call options plan to sell those in short order when whatever target price is achieved.

Hence my calling it a pump and dump... They are pumping the stock up with highly positive videos like the one you posted and comments on WSB to get the price higher faster so they can sell and make a max profit. But for this to happen, they are going to need a buyer who buys at the very top.

Who is that buyer going to be? No savvy investor will go near buying a pump and dump with a ten foot pole. Sadly, it will be the newbies on WSB and the newbies watching this Rossmann video who buy at the top and lose everything as it plummets down.

You might say, "Well I am not going to be that newbie"... But only a very few will sell at the top... Maybe 1-5%. A few more will make solid returns. But all that profit for those guys on top will come from gullible retail investors. That is why MSM is calling BS.

I think you've already heard the confirmation if your suspicion. But perhaps I can introduce another perspective. Just because you are on-call doesn't mean you go on-call.

I was on-call for a year as part of a rotation. The rotation had 7 ppl, so basically 1wk every 2 months. During that time I didn't receive a single page. This is because I picked a team with low on-call load. Perhaps you can introduce this as a filtering criteria?

There are still jobs that don't have mandatory on-call, but definitely seems to be a shrinking pie. You can blamed devops for that! (joking)
That's not correct. Alice does not own anymore the shares, only Charlie does.

There are 2 steps involved:

1) shares borrowing

2) shares selling

Shares borrowing: Bob will borrow 100 shares from Alice. Bob will have to give Alice a collateral, valued at 100% value of the shares + a percentage. Bob also has to pay a borrowing fee to Alice, daily.

At this point, Bob owns the shares, not Alice. Alice does not receive dividends directly from the company that issued the shares and Alice does not have any voting rights.

If those shares produce dividends, then Bob has to pay those dividends to Alice. If Alice invests the collateral and that produces profit, Alice needs to pay some of it to Bob.

When Bob thinks all is said and done, he has to return 100 shares (not particularly the same shares, but the same type and amount). At that point, Alice will return the collateral. Alice regains the voting rights and will get dividends.

Shares selling: Bob sells 100 shares to Chuck. Chuck owns 100 shares (the ones previously owned by Alice), has the voting rights associated with the shares and will receive dividends (if the shares generate that).

There are no extra shares generated by this process.

Alice is not a person, but a financial institution, most likely a bank.

"Progressive" isn't a bucket that you are either in or out of.

I think the problem is you place too much value on intelligence, since other people told you you are smart, you consider it core part of your identity, which makes it feel bad when you realize you are not the smartest, you felt like a fraud, that you don't belong to the group of smart people, which sounds quite like imposter syndrome.

Those folks you look up to, by its definition, is quite often people who you think are better than you in one way or another, that's why you look up to them anyway, there is nothing wrong looking up to those people. However, it is necessary to build your identity around more than just intelligence, that way you should not feel so anxious about this intelligence superiority.

Intelligence is tricky in itself, likely no one came up with relativity theory before Einstein, but I'm pretty sure someone before Einstein is smarter than him, we just don't know who, but that someone didn't come up with general relativity, because he would not have had the kind of tools and access to knowledge Einstein have. Intelligence doesn't mean you already understand how the world works when you are born, it's not like it's burned on a disk, it means you have the ability to understand and the creativity to come up with ideas. What should matter more is always what you do with your intelligence, rather than what you have.
This is just the latest version - there was the crypto bubble in 2017, then the MJ bubble in 2018 (and XIV volatility collapse), now this.

I think crypto proved to us that you don't need any sort of fundamentals - price action beats all (and defines the narrative) in the short term. We've also become a meme-based and tweet-based economy (and Donald Trump / the pandemic surely help speed that along)
reddit has a bad snuffing habit that is only getting worse.

The stock related discussions has been actually more overlooked. They are typically tolerated and rarely monitored closely.

Reddit is controlled via various cults and they control not just their own subs but also others belonging to other groups.
